    So, I asked my husband this question today.

    "can you remember thr way a friend.smelled, or the way their skin.felt from when you were young?" He looked at me like I was nuts and said no.


    So, my question is, do any of you distinctly remember a platonic friends smel or feel, or is this on tje strange aide?

    I can remember my beat friends smell, always have, I'll fins things that smell like her and it makes me smile, I can almost feel exaxtly what her skin felt like and other things about her features. We had a falling out hmm,, 12 yrs ago. I havent seen her in probably 6yrs.


    Imquestionging whether this is normal, or I had more feelings for her than I was able to realize at the time? I remember feeling very huet when she tols me ahe was bi and had a relationship with a mutual friend...

    Maybe worth mentioning? The only other time I have latched on to a persons smell like that was my husband.

    I do this too! I mean, I can't call the exact smell to mind of an old friend but when I smell something that reminds me of the smell I often smile and it makes me happy:slight_smile:. Although now that I think about it, this usually happens more with people I've had little crushes on, so maybe it's that? But that's just me.

    I haven't seen my grandma for years but I still remember how she smells, like baking, because she bakes a lot.

    Yeah, but I tend to read past it - My longer-time friends are more like exes that were toxic. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I don't think I've felt any of my friend's skin, but if I smelt something similar, then I'd think of them. Pretty often, something I do/see/hear reminds me of a random conversation or something that we had.

    No, but I remembered a blonde girl that smelled like poop on the first day of school.
